Default Anyone interested in 1 NT01 305/35/18?

I've got a screw stuck in one of my rear NT01s RIGHT at the edge of the side wall which I'm going to assume I can't get it patched up so the other tire is still in good condition. I'll take pictures later today. Should be plenty of miles left on it. Not sure on price... $100? Or is this just silly and I should let the tire shop haul both tires away?

Silly idea.. too dangerous to mount a seriously compromised tire on our porsches.

FWIW.

Sorry I meant is it silly to offer for sale the other tire, not to patch and drive the punctured one.

i'm sure there will be demand for the good one (not sure how the guys above thought you were talking about the bad one).
Post tread depth and info on heat cycles/number of track hours/sessions on it if any.

With track tires, usually you want fresh on all four corners though.

If the one is undamaged someone could use it, I wouldn't sell a used damaged then repaired tire though.

Here's a pic of the good tire (left rear).



I don't have tread depth. I'll try posting it with a coin in the tread or something when I get home. It has no track time. Street driven only.

That is like half dead, still usable but probably not worth selling.

Just curious,
It does not looks like the rear wheel has a lot of camber, but how can the inside completly worn out but out side almost new?

Damn alright. And of course, discount tires isn't offering their ebay store deal on the nt01's anymore.
